Backtrack and WPC54GS

[casperlok]

Im trying to get my Linksys WPC54gs(v2) running under backtrack linux (based of slackware) but im having problems, heres what ive done so far:

Started up with wireless card in
Ran terminal

Slax utils# ndiswrapper - i lsbcmnds.inf
installing lsbcmnds.inf
Slax utils# ndiswrapper -l
Installed Drivers:
lsbcmnds driver present
Slax utils# Modprobe ndiswrapper
Fatal: Module Ndiswrapper not found.
Slax utils# ls
lsbcmnds.cat* makefile bcmwl5.sys* loadndisdriver.c lsbcmnds.inf ndiswrapper* ndiswrapper-buginfo*
Slax utils# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions

eth0 no wireless extensions

sit0 no wireless extensions

When i try to modprobe ndiswrapper it says ndiswrapper isnt there but it is as you can see. Im new to linux, but know a little so help is much appreciated.

that directory shows a makefile.... did you compile the driver first before trying to load it into ndiswrapper?

What version of backtrack are you using?
is this linksys using a ralink chipset?

as far as I remember dlink used another chipset but recently moved to ralink chipset... (note that under backtrack, only the ralink equiped linksys will enable injection)

Post your lsmod output. I suspect that you haven't compiled and installed the kernel module and userspace utilities.

If not, try the following

tar xvfz ndis.tar.gz
cd ndis
./configure
make distclean
make install
make

Then check your lsmod output again.

Sometimes running slocate programName can tell you where a program installed various files. (Assuming that you run slocate -u first)

Post back here your steps, and we can hopefully narrow down what you did or didn't do.

The above link has an ndis HOWTO. See if that helps you.
